Thank you for your automated response, Jeremy. To demonstrate this as your automated message suggests, I think would require two new installs. Since Ubuntu went to Grub2 I hesitate to do anything so major on my dual boot system without a very good reason.
What I've noted I don't know how to demonstrate on a liveCD. It is something that happens on the 'forced fsck' every 20 mounts on an installed system. If the clues I've given don't suggest something useful regarding a regression I never experienced in the last several years using Ubuntu, then I can wait for a better reason to re-install. You might want to try using any liveCD of yours on any healthy unmounted Ubuntu system of yours and see what results you get for fsck on a 'clean' ext3 partition. I don't think it's one minute 40 seconds. -- lucid fsck takes too long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
